The pitch has improved - the WRU relaid it. That said, it still looks far from good!They are playing well tonight in the Gwent rain
)Excellent side indeed and what a midfield that was ,I always liked West Ham as a kid probably due to their influence in the 60s of producing fine players and teamsI remember being in Somerton Park on 9th January 1979 when County beat West Ham 2-1. I was in Cardiff Uni and went across with a few lads.
I’ve still got the match programme. It’s dated 6 January - but the match was postponed on the Saturday and played the following Tuesday evening.
The West Ham team that night was:
Starting lineup:
Mervyn Day
John McDowell
Paul Brush
Alvin Martin
Billy Bonds
Frank Lampard (Snr)
Trevor Brooking
Alan Devonshire
David Cross
Bryan ‘Pop’ Robson
Alan Taylor
Not a bad side that!
I wouldn’t fancy out chances away to them Goes to show how lucky we’ve been to have pitch as good as we haveAn all-Welsh FA Cup Final is still on the cards.
Swans to beat Brentford, and County to Citeh
Excellent side indeed and what a misfield that was ,I always liked West Ham as a kid probably due to their influence in the 60s of producing fine players and teams

What a fantastic result for Newport and a big pay day with more to come playing Man City.....They deserve this after all the barron years but they need to transfer this form to the League as they have been slipping of late....Welsh team of the month in my view.....![]()

We had a Yank with us - he talked about it for the rest of his visitI was there too Taff. Hell of a night and there weren't too many of those at Somerton. Eddie Woods from Ferndale on the score sheet for Newport.

Could well beIs it true that there is going to be a boycott of our cup game.
Just come from a couple of drinks in The Plough......and yes it does seem on talking to the punters.Is it true that there is going to be a boycott of our cup game.
But I thought you’ve said that you boycott each and every match?Stupid attitude...
This from someone who's boycotted games due to the cost of a ticketStupid attitude...

SpookyBut I thought you’ve said that you boycott each and every match?
Not sure if it'll happen , some may use it being televised as an excuse not to attend , I'll be there , "support the team not the regime "Could well be
Great minds think alike ..... or fools stick togetherSpooky
